Guns & Roses and Motley Crue

Can anyone tell me what the line up of the band is now, last I heard it was Axl, Izzy and that weird geezer Buckethead.

colincarnate · 22-02-2006 12:46PM

Axl and Slash made a pact never to play Estranged without each other, sorry mate.

Band is Axl and Dizzy, Buckethead left a good while ago.

They've got a session guitarist who was on the road with Enrique Ingeleius among other pop dudes

Robin Fink still i think, ex-NIN lad i think

Brain on drums ex-Primus

bunch of other guys, as programmers and additional keyboardists

Tommy Stinson aswell on bass

who knows Axl might be on Lead guitar aswell!

i know i said "last post" earlier

but

i know any concert can cancell, but can any concert that has never been given the direct go-ahead by the main man cancel? - Yes, only GN'F'R! what makes it so good.
i'm waiting for gnronline.com to post then i'll believe it, and that won't even update if they tour - i love it!

Dr. Dodger · 22-02-2006 01:12PM

This is gonna one memorable weekend. Guns n Roses Friday, Metallia Sunday. Alot of money sure but I wouldn't miss it for anything! This will be the last time you have a chance to see some form of Guns n Roses live. Make the most of it everyone.

GNR Friday ... Metallica Sunday ... who's on the Saturday?!

Any rumours as to who's headlining the Friday in Donnington? Odds on that's they play RDS on the Saturday!

if it happens like that, and I hope it seriously does. it means Tool and Deftones which would be the highlight of my year

Tazz T · 22-02-2006 01:23PM

They're headlining Donington on the Saturday.

smelltheglove · 22-02-2006 01:28PM

LundiMardi · 22-02-2006 01:32PM

The Eagles are already playing Lansdowne on Saturday. Have to be a bit if risk anyone who trys to slip a gig in on Saturday too.. I know they're a different genre and that but thats my opinion anywho

Probably but its de "Crue" I want to see

tbh · 22-02-2006 01:39PM

I wouldn't mind seeing the crue either, if I'm honest. Forget about whats cool and whats not, if they both play as they have done in the past, could be a smokin - SMOKIN! - gig. That said, having seen Mick Marrs recently, it might be a bit more laid back

Rockee · 22-02-2006 01:39PM

Excellent! Some good ol' sleazy rock n roll in the RDS on the 9th of June! G n R and the Crue...heaven! As for all the people who think its going to be cancelled, dont be so bloody negative. That poor guy who flew to London only for to gig to cancel...it doesnt happen every day.

tbh · 22-02-2006 01:40PM

sure fingers crossed. If I'm going, I'll buy my ticket on the day I think

NIBBS · 22-02-2006 01:41PM

it's a good thing anyway, first time I think (memory ain't great these days) that they brought over more than one headliner from the festival......
If there was something on the Sat it would be cool, would mean plenty of choice for everyone......

Are Tool rumoured to be headlining the Friday or just on the bill for the festival ?
they are not my cup of tea at all, love the video's but they bored me silly when I saw them live.......might just not have been in the mood at the time they came on......

Mark Knopfler is playing the sat also

Rockee · 22-02-2006 01:45PM

True...it could be a crazy night that night with the Eagles/Mark Knopfler playing too elsewhere. They might be a different style of music to GNR and Motley Crue but a lot of people go to gigs for the 'event' and to have a good time which is fair enough. Eitherway, lets all have a good night regardless!:D

cournioni · 22-02-2006 01:59PM

Its going to be hard to get tickets for this one, that is for sure. I'm definately going to try to get a ticket. Motley Crue should be class!

Rockshandy · 22-02-2006 02:15PM

The Crue will be awsome, and G and R will rock man, Brain on drums, Axl and company! what more do you want.

its so good to finally see some promoters billing big rock acts as opposed to indie tripe that is usually bille din this country, think back, when was the last big rock show you saw/heard of in dublin, i dont mean the strokes ect where they look at their shoes and jump around like busted, apart from Steve Vai Iron Maiden and what i felt to be a lacklustre performance by the darkness in the past 4 years its been pretty slow!! David lee roth is the only one that comes to mind for an AWSOME show but was in such a small venue!!

i say roll on JUNE!!! GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS!!!!!

Izzy hasn't been in the band since 1991 except a couple of gigs in 1993. Buckethead left in 2004.

Axl on vocals, Dizzy Reed and Chris Pittman on keyboards, Robin Finck (ex-NIN) and Richard Fortus play guitar, Tommy Stinson on bass, and Brain (ex-Primus) on drums. They're were 3 guitarists in 2002 tour and no-one has replaced Buckethead, so a lot of people think a 3rd guitarist will be announced. Rumoured to be Slash, but that's BS!

It's on top of Metallica tickets that's its Download Festival, so this seems to be the Irish Download, except tickets are sold seperately for each day here. Metallica are headlining Sat in Donington and Sun in RDS. G n' R on Fri in RDS and Sun in Donington. So whoever headlines Fri in Donington is probably headlining Sat over here.

I remember a couple of weeks ago, someone high up said it would be Metallica, Gn'R and AC/DC playing Download. Of course everyone said it was rubbish. But he was proven right about Metallica and GnR so i bet AC/DC will be playing Fri in Donington and hence Sat 10th June in Dublin - what a weekend!

DOD Crew · 22-02-2006 02:35PM

I wouldn't mind checking out the new GNR if they had a good support band, it would have been worth the admission but motley crue! I think I'll keep my money until deftones come to Ireland!!!

:rolleyes:

Listen to the first two albums and bring your ears up to speed man.

Heart stopped there for a few seconds! AC/DC playing is a huge rumour and eventhough Id fuppin love it, I cant see it happening.

The smart money is on Alice in Chains to headline Saturday

Serious. Efestivals Just do a search for Alice in Chains

They played a benefit gig for Tsunami victims there a while back. Cantrell did most of the vocals but they had a few guests sing some of the acoustic stuff, think it was yer man from Tool.
